Movie Reviews of The Beast Within
Movie Review: horror movie buff was bored
Summary: 2 Stars
Great cast wasted. Ron Cox, LQ Jones, R. G. Armstrong and others.
Tedious meandering plot. Dumb setups and forced acting. The director gets the worst performances out of some of the best character actors.
This is one of those movies where you are completely distracted in wondering..."why is this not working?"
For a B horror TBWI appears to have been well budgeted as can be seen by quality actors, camera lenses, film stock, lighting, music, audio and special effects. The director sets up the camera and frames scenes well and even tries for some atmospheric lighting and settings. - But - the actor-direction, story, screen play, dynamics are all too questionable
The dynamics problem is due to the director having the actors perform the same over-reaction whether they take a wrong turn during a pleasant Sunday drive or they witness their son turning into a murderous pulsating monster.
And - that slimy monster is very unintentionally silly.
One big plus is that the talented Lex Baxter wrote another awesome score.
Obviously from the comments on my review - most disagree with me - but for me (a horror movie buff) I was pretty bored with this film.
The DVD has excelent sound and picture quality from very good film stock.
